Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

I would give zero stars if I could
If I could give this man zero stars I would. Before he came in the room, the nurse told me to have my lab results open on my phone to show the doctor. As soon as he came in the room he told me to put that thing away and tried to grab my phone from me and put it into my purse. I came in with multiple concerns after having issues for over a month and he completely disregarded my concerns. I also take estrogen and he asked me directly if the medicine was “making me not want to end my life anymore”. His bedside manner is terrible and doctors like this man are the reason some people don’t want to go see a doctor when they have a concern. It’s a shame that doctors can treat patients this way.

Exceptional Care
I have recently seen Dr. Gallo at Morgan Medical Center in Madison, GA. With my office visits and my surgery he just performed, I can honestly say the care he provides and the compassion he shows is unlike any I have experienced. His calming demeanor, his sense of humor and my inclusion at every step make for the best care ever.Thank you Dr. Gallo! I’m blessed to have you as my doctor.

I had to reschedule this appointment 2 times, because Dr. Martin R. Gallo, gynecologist, doesn't like to examine women on their period, and it was just a fluke that I had it both times. Today, my 2 year old and myself, drove 40 minutes to see Dr. Martin R. Gallo, and they would not let me into my appointment because I had my 2 year old with me. Some crap about since Covid, they don't let anyone in the room with the patient. Wait a minute, I'm not bringing an enterage, it's my 2 year old daughter and no one to watch her. Unbelievable, and YOUR DISGUSTING for now allowing my 2 year old daughter in the room with me. I hope no one goes to this jerk, and the office person who had to do his dirty work is no better. You should be ashamed of yourselves.

I switched to Dr. Gallo (he came highly recommended) a couple of years ago after being dismissed by my previous ob/gyn after having breast cancer. While he does have a good bedside manner, I find him to be very pompous. I can deal with that as that can signal confidence in a doctor. I had post-menopausal bleeding, thickened endometrial lining and cysts or polyps and ended up having an hysteroscopy. He came in before the procedure and was his usual over confident self...fine. He said that he would call me with the biopsy results. After the procedure, he never came and talked to me. He talked to my husband and told him everything went fine and that he would call me with results. He never called me, which infuriates me. I had to look on My Chart for the results. Also, there is no plan going forward. What do I do with a thickened lining, what are the risks, etc. So, I fired him.

My experience with Dr. Gallo and his staff was horrendous. I was able to get an appointment the same day I called which was good because I was concerned with postmenopausal bleeding I was having. Saw Dr. Gallo, he performed an exam and said he would have to do a biopsy under light anesthesia because of a mass that he felt. He mentioned the word cancer to be and said that though it's rare he can't rule it out. He gave me the name of his surgery scheduler Elizabeth Kozel and said she would call to get this scheduled. It is one week later and two calls to his office and I still haven't spoken with the scheduler. I spoke with an employee at the office that was sympathetic when I explained that this was keeping me awake at night. I listened closley to the schedulers voice message and she said "please note that I will not be returning calls in a timely manner." So, there you go. That's the attitude that prevails. Do yourself a favor. Find another Dr.

I have a major fear of doctors but I am never anxious or stressed about seeing Dr. Gallo. He is so genuine and approachable; plus, he always makes you comfortable. He's really good about explaining things in a way I can understand too.

Dr. Gallo and his team were amazing through both my pregnancies! They were always there to answer questions and never made me feel rushed during appointments. They never ended an appointment until I ran out of questions. They take amazing notes and I always felt like they remembered me and my family. Dr. Gallo gave great advice during my pregnancy and I felt less worried about the unknowns. I was sad to leave his practice because of a job relocation for my family.

Dr. Gallo has beeen nothing short of amazing. As a young female on her own and states away from family, it is very comforting to have a physician that is there for you during scary times. He made my colposcopy and subsequent LEEP procedure a breeze; I couldn't be more thankful for him and his staff who went above and beyond to make me feel comfortable and educated when I left. I wouldn't want anyone else in charge of my care; I recommend Dr. Gallo to everyone.

Dr. Gallo was fantastic!! I went in to be induced and ended up having to have a C-section because the baby had flipped. Dr. Gallo performed the C-section. He saw the tears fall when he first said that a C-section needed to happen. I was scared but he put me at ease and was wonderful before, during and after! I would highly recommend him as your doctor as well as this whole group of doctors! The 5 of them were all wonderful!!!
